Kutna Hora

Home to the rather morbidly curious Bone Church. Inside the church has been entirely decorated with complete sets of bones modelled into a chandelier and assorted ornamentation. The 13th C Cistercian monastery became home to the remains of some 40,000 people after the Black Plague hit the area during a 'silver' mining rush. One monk hit upon the macabre idea of making the bones into decoration after they ran out of room in the cemetery. Buses from Florenc Station run daily, the church is open daily 8am-6pm (Apr-Oct), 9am-Noon/1pm-4pm (Nov-Mar). 30kc, 20Kc students.
